Thinking 350/350 would make my life a lot easier. Simple is better and cheaper. Went to buy my rear air set up and it went "off sale". I'm hoping they will give it to me for the sale price.

ruffrida2005 · 03-27-2011, 11:05 PM

yeah just go with the 350/350. When you look for a air kit look at Guage Magazine store. good deals.

Thought you were taking a hiadious (sp) Haven't seen you in the 60-66 section much.

daverod · 03-28-2011, 12:01 AM

Did some cleaning and cutting and painting. Ordered some cab mounts so I get my cab on.

What's the white stuff. It's 90 in Texas!

daverod · 03-28-2011, 02:12 PM

To bad.

That would suck.

I'll be 90 here tomorrow.

OrrieG · 03-28-2011, 02:22 PM

Great elk rack, I like.....

daverod · 03-28-2011, 02:35 PM

Nice. I got mine with a bow about two years ago. Out of a tree stand next to a river crossing. Ran about 100 yrds and dropped like a rock. More gore.

This guy was hanging around last year got my heart pumping a few times.

I swear it was twice as big at 5 in the morning.

daverod · 03-28-2011, 02:52 PM

Just because it a truck forum.

Got a little done on my 52.

I don't think the frame will have a vin# but it will have a frame number stamped on top of the frame on the passenger side. You might want to check the S10 forum on this web site as I think there are threads there that will give detail.

The 89 frame should be a good one for your 52. Clay

Clay54 · 03-28-2011, 07:45 PM

Boy, what a dummie. I just went to the S10 site and you already know where the frame number is. Sorry for not being more alert. Should have checked before I tried to help. Clay

daverod · 03-28-2011, 07:54 PM

Thanks anyway bud.

ruffrida2005 · 03-29-2011, 02:31 PM

Dave you should go with a diffrent upper control arm. You will either have to pie cut them or get after market arms, because you will have a bunch of camber when droped.

I got MMW Michigan Metal Works arms for mine. They were $100 for the pair and came with bushings, use your stock cross shaft, and ball joints.

daverod · 03-29-2011, 11:16 PM

I wonder if camber really matters when it sitting on the ground.

daverod · 03-29-2011, 11:19 PM

Took my 350 to the machine shop to get it machined/heads done. Got some lowered spindles/headers/engine mounts coming. Tore all my wiring out of my cab. Found a zr2 rear end with posi for 300 need to go get it. Sold my old 52 frame on craigs for 150.

ruffrida2005 · 03-29-2011, 11:56 PM

I guess you'll just have to see if anything gets in the way when layed out. I was reading yesterday about the s10 rears, The ZR2 is weaker then the drum rears. so stay out of the throttle.

blitz'd · 03-30-2011, 08:50 AM

You needed drop spindles? You dont really need the upper arms, these frames do not really camber that much. I know mine is maxing out the upper ball joint though so I either need to get different arms or longer travel ball joints. I like the MMW arms, looks like I would get a lot more clearance for the inner fenders if I ran them.

I think it has a bigger ring gear. It's made for off road. You would think it would be stronger? Not really sure what the ring gear does? I just like it because it's wide enough and it has disk brakes. No, I'm no staying out of the throttle.
